Two-step rational extensions of the harmonic oscillator: exceptional orthogonal polynomials and ladder operators

Abstract: The type III Hermite Xm exceptional orthogonal polynomial family is generalized to a double-indexed one Xm1,m2 (with m1 even and m2 odd such that m2>m1) and the corresponding rational extensions of the harmonic oscillator are constructed by using second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The new polynomials are proved to be expressible in terms of mixed products of Hermite and pseudo-Hermite ones, while some of the associated potentials are linked with rational solutions of the Painlev'e IV equation. A novel set of ladder operators for the extended oscillators is also built and shown to satisfy a polynomial Heisenberg algebra of order m2−m1+1, which may alternatively be interpreted in terms of a special type of (m2−m1+2)th-order shape invariance property.
